The democratic majority in the present house of representatives is inly five, but the majority in the '•text congress will be fully fifty. In New York alone the democrats ex pect to gain eight seats; they also expect to gain two in New Jersey, two in Indiana and four in Illinois. There may be losses in Louisiana, Virginia, Tennessee, and perhaps in Georgia, but these losses will be fashion for the papers advocating the re-election of Govornor Colquitt to laud him tot; his military record and to sneer at Mr, Norwood for the want of ono. To tho Governor, the high praise, which he justly earned as a General in the Confed erate army, should be accorded. The The writer participated, in an hum ble capacity, in the battle of Olus- tec, and recalls wit(i a thrill of pride and pleasure, which no polit ical differences can extinguish, the conduct of General Colquitt on that eventful day. It also happened to me that in tho early part of the war, I was a member of the company in which T. M. Norwood enlisted as a pti vute soldier. It was my accidental privilege to know him intimately there—to tent with him and to mess with him. I recall, as if it was yesterday, when he was stricken down by dis ease, and the anguish which wrung his heart—as true and brave a heart as beat in the breast of any Confederate soldier—when he was told by the medical advisors that he was permanently disabled fof ac tive service and could no longer hope to perform duty. Now, this is the man to whom (having near ly lost his eye sight by disease con tracted in the service) the Colquitt papers apply sneers and gibes and epithet of “sore-eyes.” Well, it was a great and glorious tiling to be a General! thought many a weary Confederate soldier, as lie plodded along and saw thpGenpral with his staff. But when I think of those patient and gallant Fel lows, privates, no matter whether disabled by disease or wounds at the outset of their career or serving honorably to the close of the war, I cannot but believe that the people of Georgia will consider them no fit sqbjept for contemptuous sneers, but entitled to as much honor as tho highest heroes in the land. Olustee Maine Elections. Portland, Me., Sept. 21.—Er rors having been found in the tele graphic returns to tho net amount of 2-10 of ono per cent; copies of official returns have been carefully footed and compared with tho foot ings received from Augusta. An error is fopnd of oncthunndred in their footing of Penobscot county, seven back towns are added, and the final result is Davis 73,040, Plaisted 73,814, Plaisted’s plurality 174. The scattering votes wire not on the sheets received here, hut the Augusta footing 375 is proba bly correct. This result must hi very near, although some towns are still not official.
